Sustainable Surfboard Shapes: The 7’4″ Island Hopper

7’4” x 23” x 3” – 59.2 l

At 7’4” long and 23” wide, the Island Hopper is both a great “step-down” board for longboarders as well as an appealing board for surfers looking to inject some fun cruising back into their game. A great mid-length shape, this board is a true all-rounder ideal for “one board” quivers and international travel and was developed for early customer from the Channel Islands.

Suitable for both beginners and seasoned surfers, the Island Hopper goes well in a range of conditions, due to it’s high volume, working well in slack summer waves as well as sitting nicely in the pocket on more critical sections.

Since we released the Island Hopper in 2012, it has been an incredibly popular choice for our beginner and intermediate customers.

With its full template, full rails and high volume, this board is all about catching waves and making the most of any wave conditions. We originally designed it to be a versatile board that we’d be happy to surf anywhere and that has proved to be true over the years.

Rolling from rail to rail with the rounded tail and sweeping through turns, this board is guaranteed fun in anything from 1 foot to 6 feet.
